I think that might splinter the number of entries. The number of sumo
entries really often depends on who new we find to play and get into the
entire event spirit. The major issues I have with returning sumo is a)
there's a dwindling number of sumo competitors (and brings people down when
they show up without anyone to compete against) and b) it just seems over done.
I'd also guess the folks in the master division we expect would be into
stacking.

least going to be four entries to make David's effort worthwhile?
